Alias and 3D developer Kaydara announced today an agreement for Kaydara to be acquired by the Maya maker. Kaydara's products include MotionBuilder and FBX for QuickTime, both available for the Mac platform. Kaydara also offers some platform independent technologies.

Kaydara's products will be offered under the Alias brand name, and Alias says that MotionBuilder and the FBX product line, a line of 3D plugins that allows 3D data to be shared between applications, will continue to be offered as standalone products. Additionally, Alias says that all of the platforms currently supported by Kaydara will continue to be supported.

Other aspects of the two companies' technology portfolios will be leveraged across Alias's existing product line.
